A Day in the Great Outdoors

Yesterday, the 4-H Program Assistant, and I went to Camp Albemarle and taught a day camp, A Day in the Great Outdoors. We did all sorts of fun activities! We went on a nature walk, did a scavenger hunt, made a campfire and roasted smores over the fire (as well as we could, the wood was a little damp from rain the previous days, so it was kind of a small fire), made bird feeders with sticks, yarn, peanut butter, and bird seed and put them in the trees for the birds to enjoy, studied and drew animal tracks, and played outside on the rocks, played soccer in the grass, and had some fun looking at all types of creatures from bugs to lizards!
Although the weather was hot and the humidity was high, we had a successful day! Fun was had by all, and spending a day surrounded by nature was a good break for the kids as well as the adults. :)
